I wouldn’t say “nothing to fear” — but I might say he has “nothing to lose” from outright support. He also has nothing to gain.
Gay groups already support him. Christian and traditional demographics already won’t support him for the most part. And, everybody pretty much knows where he stands ... and knows that he hasn’t the spine to own it.
That’s really the only change I could see from him stating outright what everyone already knows he believes — it’d take spine that he doesn’t possess. Sprouting a spine might help him a bit ... but I don’t see any votes being won or lost on this that haven’t been won or lost already.

Rush is talking about it now. Even Blue areas of NC voted for the amendment. If he comes out and admits he supports gay marriage then he has just drove the nail in his own political coffin but if he doesn’t then the Gay Libs, and there’s a lot of them, will also ditch him.
